As the poet surrenders to love, longing, and the unfamiliar, devotion and desire begin to mirror one another-submission to a lover echoing the deeper yielding required by the divine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndia is not only a setting but a presence: mother, mystic, seductress, initiator. In her gaze, the speaker confronts inherited shame, fractured belonging, and the ache of wanting what both calls and resists her. What emerges is a reckoning with the body as a sacred site, where erotic awakening becomes a form of prayer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 62\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.15 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 11, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54053242175795,"sku":"9781069942708","price":23.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/77geSjuQR-9781069942708.webp?v=1789017572","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/hips-like-holy-rivers-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
